Using my Sam460ex I downloaded the 2GB image, decompressed with 7za and wrote with rawdisk then booted linux in text mode from the USB thumb drive with no problems .Seem to have to use MediaToolbox to Install the USB thumbdrive before the rawdisk copy .

rawdisk from Data:Downloads/Amigaone_Ubuntu_16.04-Base-1.img to usb0:

I have encountered problems booting both AmigaOS4.1 and Linux with an EXT4 partition on my hard drive so have removed ub2lb as the bootloader and gone back to slb_v2.ub2lb gets stuck and won't load the boot menu due to the EXT4 partition.I now boot the kernel from USB thumb drive .The new Uboot variables set from AmigaOS 4.1 are ( the example is with a root partition as the 8th partion on the hard drive so /dev/sdb8)

Used TFTPD (using vmware and a very plain/simple linux distro with tftpd-hpa) to load kernel 4.6.2 and worked fine and faaaaaast. Now I just have to remember what usr/psw do I have on my Ubuntu installation ¿:-/...Got it!!! (my usr/psw) GREAT
